Definitions
- This invention relates to a system for measuring a signal quality, and more particularly to a system for measuring quality of multimedia signals communicated via a network.
- VAV signals may be processed in many different ways before being transmitted to a receiver. For example, a VAV signal may be digitized, compressed, and modulated onto a carrier. The receiver then must transform the received signal back into a perceptible representation of the VAV signal.
- VAV signal quality is evaluated by subjective testing.
- this type of test is not practical as an in-service testing method, nor does this type of test produce consistent, reproducible results.
- Signal quality evaluation is further complicated when VAV communication is incorporated into very complex transport systems such as cellular code division multiple access (CDMA) systems or wideband CDMA systems.
- CDMA code division multiple access
- Different, but equally difficult challenges are presented when evaluating VAV quality in such non-deterministic environments as the Internet.
- methods and apparatus for evaluating quality of received VAV signals that do not require explicit knowledge of the operation and configuration of a network, such as the transport technology used and the network access technology, would be desirable. It also would be desirable if the methods and apparatus provide real-time or non-real-time automated measurements of quality, so that interactive field testing, for example, could be performed. In addition, a common test platform for various types of VAV signals that easily connects to an equipment under test would be advantageous. Furthermore, methods and apparatus that provide reliable, repeatable, and easy-to-understand quantitative quality of service measurements for one-way, multi-hop, or round-trip measurements would be desirable.
- the invention is a method for measuring perceptual quality of voice signals, audio signals, audio-video signals, and multimedia signals in communication equipment.
- a processed test signal is communicated via a network from a first device to a second device.
- the processed test signal is then received by an equipment under test, which further processes the processed test signal to recover a representation of the test signal.
- the recovered test signal is then objectively analyzed to determine a measure of perceptual quality by comparing the recovered test signal to a pre-stored representation of the test signal.
- the invention is a quality measurement unit that attaches to equipment under test to identify and evaluate quality of recovered test signals.
- the test signals are those communicated from a remote device and those communicated by the equipment under test.
- the quality measurement unit is configured to communicate with the equipment under test and the network, so that the quality measurement unit itself receives a representation of the communicated test signal by the equipment under test. It will be seen that, in methods and apparatus of this invention, quality of received VAV signals are evaluated without an explicit knowledge of the network via which the equipment under test communicates. Moreover, both real-time and non-real-time quality analysis is possible, utilizing a common test platform for various types of VAV signals. The invention is applicable to a variety of different types of quantitative quality of service measurements, including one-way, multi- hop, and round-trip measurements.
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a quality measurement system for VAV signals suitable for one-way quality measurements in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 2 is a flow chart of an embodiment of a quality measurement method applicable to the system of Figure 1.
- Figure 3 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a quality measurement system suitable for round-trip quality measurements in accordance with the invention.
- Figure 4 is a block diagram of an embodiment of a quality measurement system suitable for two-way quality measurements in accordance with the invention.
- Quality measurement system 10 includes a local quality measurement unit (LQMU) 12.
- LQMU local quality measurement unit
- a port 14 of LQMU 12 is coupled to an equipment under test (EUT) device 16.
- EUT 16 is a mobile or cellular telephone, and port 14 is electrically coupled to EUT 16 using, for example, a set of "hands-free” or “car kit” electrical terminals (not shown).
- the invention is not limited in applicability to mobile and cellular telephones, however.
- EUT 16 transmits and receives, via communication paths 18 and 20, respectively, information to and from a network 22.
- network 22 comprises a wireless network 24 and communication paths 18 and 20 are radio links.
- a remote reference data storage unit (RRDSU) 26 is also operatively coupled to network 22.
- RRDSU 26 is a device for recording and playing reference signals that is coupled to wireless network 24 via a wire-line network 28, for example, a telephone answering machine.
- a network interface adapter (NIA) 30 is provided to condition signals output from RRDSU 26 into a form appropriate for transmission to network 28.
- signals transmitted from network 28 to RRDSU 26 are converted by NIA 30 into a form suitable for processing by RRDSU 26.
- a local storage in the form of a local reference data storage unit (LRDSU) 32 is provided for LQMU 12 and is coupled to LQMU 12 via a second port 34.
- local storage 32 may be internal to LQMU 12.
- local storage, such as electronic or magnetic memory is internal to LQMU 12.
- LQMU 12 provides an indication of a quality measure 36 of a test signal received from RRDSU 26 via network 22 by EUT 16. Knowledge of protocols, signaling, and configuration of network 22 required for the practice of the invention are isolated in EUT 16, a pre-existing piece of equipment, and in NIA 30. NIA 30, in many instances, may be a readily available device supplied by an operator of network 28 or an electronics distributor.
- the present invention allows different types of network 22 to be accommodated without requiring specific information concerning the nature of network 22 to be known or available to RRDSU 26, LQMU 12, or local storage 32. This allows RRDSU 26 to be coupled via NIA 30 to a publicly- or user-accessible service access point of network 22.
- port 14 and LQMU 12 are configured to collect received test signals from EUT 16 so that LQMU 12 is responsive to signals received by EUT 16.
- port 14 and LQMU 12 are configured to control EUT 16 to transmit uplink signals via radio link 18.
- LQMU 12 is also configured to analyze the received test signals to perform an objective measurement of the quality of these signals.
- embedded algorithms within the received test signals are configured to perform an objective measurement of the quality of these signals.
- LQMU 12 are configurable and selectable for one or more types of VAV signals.
- RRDSU 26 is, for example, a storage unit including a recorder and a player (not shown separately in Figure 1).
- the recorder is, for example, a readable/writeable mass storage device such as a hard disk drive, or any other device suitable for recording VAV signals.
- the player accesses the recorded VAV signals, which include reference VAV signals, and plays them back.
- RRDSU 26 comprises a digital answering machine to perform these functions.
- RRDSU 26 is configured to transmit a test signal that is selected from voice, audio, video, and multimedia test signals.
- quality measurement system 10 is utilized for testing EUT 16 in conjunction with network 22 comprising a wireless telephone network 24 to evaluate one-way downlink end-to-end VAV quality, i.e., the quality of a signal received via radio link 20 by EUT 16 from a base station (not shown) of network 24.
- LQMU 12 is turned on 100 and connected to EUT 16 so that it is responsive to receipt of a test message by EUT 16.
- EUT 16 places a call 102 to RRDSU 26 by dialing RRDSU telephone number so that RRDSU 26 transmits a test signal to EUT 16.
- EUT 16 when EUT 16 is configured to communicate via a network other than a telephone network, an appropriate signaling technique is substituted for placing a telephone call to RRDSU 26. In other embodiments such signaling may also be performed manually, for example, by dialing a number on a keypad (not shown) of EUT 16.
- RRDSU 26 is configured as a voice mailbox, so that dialing 102 RRDSU also includes dialing a voice mailbox of RRDSU 26 and retrieving 104 a test signal as a voice mail message. Prior to transmission of the test signal, for example, a voice message, the test signal is processed by NIA 30 so that it is in a form suitable for transmission over network 28. LQMU 12 then attempts to synchronize itself 106 with the test signal.
- Synchronization search 106 is continued until synchronization 108 is achieved. In one embodiment, when synchronization 108 is not achieved within a determined period of time 110, an error condition 112 is signaled. In one embodiment, by synchronizing 108 with the test signal, LQMU 12 analyzes signals received by EUT 16 to determine that a test signal has been received. It will be understood that EUT 16 performs further processing of signals received via network 24 to recover a representation of the test signal that is analyzed by EUT 16. This further processing, among other things, makes it possible for EUT 16 to be independent of the signal encodings and network protocols utilized by network 22.
- the recovered test signal is received 114 by LQMU 12.
- the recovered test signal is compared to a pre-stored representation of a reference signal in LRDSU 32 and a quality of service (QoS) measure is determined 116 to provide an objective measure of received signal quality.
- QoS quality of service
- This measure, or a representation of it, is displayed 118, for example, on a display screen (not shown).
- the measure of quality is recorded for future display or analysis.
- a predetermined number of tests are performed 120 during a call to RRDSU 26.
- the call from EUT 16 to RRDSU 26 can be terminated 122 either manually or automatically when the determined number of test or tests are complete.
- LQMU 12 if LQMU 12 does not have sufficient processing power to evaluate quality of a received test signal as it is being received by EUT 16, the received test signal is stored in LRDSU 32 for later, off-line quality evaluation, for example, after the call from EUT 16 to RRDSU 26 is terminated.
- an up-link testing system 200 does not require an RRDSU 26.
- Testing system 200 is shown in Figure 3 in conjunction with network 22 and EUT 16.
- EUT 16 is a cellular telephone transmitting via radio link 18 to a wireless network 24.
- LQMU 12 receives signals from NIA 30 via wire-line network 26.
- NIA 30 is a modem, such as a computer modem, with which LQMU 12 is configured for communication.
- EUT 16 dials the telephone number of NIA 30 to initiate a test.
- LQMU 12 then injects a local-to-remote test signal into EUT 16, for example, via a hands-free kit, which is returned via network 22 and NIA 30 to LQMU 12.
- a two-way testing system 300 having a master quality measurement unit (MQMU) 302 and a slave quality measurement unit (SQMU) 304.
- MQMU 302 is configured to initiate and coordinate communication between EUT 306 and EUT 308, for example, terminals providing VAV capabilities, via a network 310, for example, the Internet, and to provide timestamps for test results produced both by MQMU 302 and SQMU 304.
- MQMU 302 and SQMU 304 are configured similarly to LQMU 12 in that MQMU 302 is coupled to EUT 306 and reference data storage unit (RDSU) 312, and SQMU 304 is coupled to EUT 308 and RDSU 314. Both MQMU 302 and SQMU 304 are configured to provide quality measures of received signals.
- MQMU 302 provides a quality measure 316 of a signal transmitted from EUT 308 via network 310 to EUT 306, while SQMU 304 provides a quality measure 318 of signals transmitted from EUT 306 to EUT 308 via network 310.
- timestamping of quality measures is determined so that quality measures 316 and 318 can be correlated and post-processed by a post-processing module 320 at a later time.
- neither LQMU 12, RRDSU 26, MQMU 302 nor SQMU 304 require a direct connection with any network.
- each of these devices can operate in a manner that is independent of the network type, including its characteristics and configuration, allowing its use in conjunction with both proprietary and non-proprietary networks.
- the present invention may be practiced in conjunction with any of a variety of different types of networks, including switched-circuit, packet-switched, frame-relay, Internet protocol, and asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks.
- ATM asynchronous transfer mode
- the present invention is also suitable for a variety of network transport technologies, including wireless, wired, and satellite networks.
- components of the present invention may be designed to connect to existing terminals or ports of communication equipment and to publicly or user available service access points of networks. Thus, no special set-ups or modifications of the network or of the equipment under test need be required.
- some or all of LQMU 12, MQMU 302 and SQMU 304 are configured to be non-intrusive to permit in-service deployment.
- At least one of LQMU 12, MQMU 302 and SQMU 304 are implemented utilizing digital signal processing to achieve real-time quality evaluation.
- the quality measurements obtained are used to adaptively adjust network parameters, if network architecture or protocol information is available.
- voice quality assessment is improved by selecting, for example, adaptively or automatically, an appropriate algorithm for quality assessment.
- Over IP are better evaluated by algorithms that are different from standard quality measurement algorithms such as International Telecommunications Union (ITU) standard P.861 Perceptual Speech Quality Measurement (PSQM) or Measuring Normalizing Blocks (MNB), another ITU-developed measuring algorithm to measure voice quality off-line using files stored in a computer.
- ITU International Telecommunications Union
- PSQM Perceptual Speech Quality Measurement
- MNB Measuring Normalizing Blocks
- LQMU 12, MQMU 302 and SQMU 304 are programmable for different system applications.
- a variety of test signals are selected, either manually or under control of at least one of LQMU 12, MQMU 302 and SQMU 304.
- artificial voice-like signals designed by standard- generating bodies such as ITU may be selected.
- storage 32, 310, and 312 include any of several different types of storage media or a relay device such as one that communicates to another device having storage media.
- At least one of LQMU 12, MQMU 302 and SQMU 304 are operatively coupled to at least one of a global positioning satellite (GPS) receiver (not shown) and a digital map (not shown) to automatically generate a quality of service map for example, test signals for a wireless telephone network are transmitted repeated to a moving EUT 16, 306, or 308, and performance measurements are performed and analyzed as a function of position.
